Jasmine answered all of Mason's questions. Actually, Nathaniel had been a pretty nice guy in high school. No one knew when he had started to become so cold and ruthless.After listening, Mason's heart ached even more for Nikita.Jasmine saw that he looked like he had lost his soul, so she thought of pouring him a glass of water.She was wearing a long skirt that day, and when she got up she accidentally stepped on it, making her fall forward.Mason reacted quickly and grabbed her arm. He instinctively pulled her toward him, and Jasmine fell right into his arms. Jasmine's cheek was against Mason's neck, and the two of them were pressed tightly against each other. They could both feel the warmth emanating from the other.Mason was startled. The woman in his arms felt even softer than he had imagined, and strands of her long hair tickled his nose. The scent of her shampoo smelt very nice. Jasmine recovered first. She looked up and laughed rather awkwardly. "Sorry. My lipstick got

He was soon at a disadvantage.Nikita and Jasmine heard the noise and ran out quickly. The men in the corridor were caught up in the heat of the battle. When Nikita saw that there were several wounds on Mason's face, her chest tightened, and she ran up to them quickly to try and separate them."Stop fighting!" Nikita had come over all of a sudden, and Mason was afraid of hurting her, so he began pulling back his punches and kicks. This gave Nathaniel an opening, and he swung his fist at Mason's eye. Nikita's mind had gone blank. She instinctively stood in front of Mason to shield him.When Nathaniel saw Nikita, his eyes flickered, and he redirected the punch to the wall beside them instead.Nikita watched as the punch created a huge hole in the wall. Nathaniel's knuckles began bleeding

Nikita got some antiseptic and a cotton bud and began to disinfect Nathaniel's wound for him.Nathaniel stared fixedly at her. She had her head bent as she earnestly helped him to clean his wound. She would blow on it from time to time, and it felt as if a feather had drifted over Nathaniel's heart. He looked at Nikita's pretty features, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down. After she finished putting on the bandages, he suddenly pushed her down onto the couch. He pinched her chin and kissed her.His kiss felt eager and anxious, as if he had recovered a lost treasure. Nikita's eyes widened, and she pushed him in protest. Nathaniel grabbed her easily and raised her hands over her head.Nikita tried her best to move her head aside and avoid his kiss.Nathaniel's kiss fell on her cheek, and he couldn't help frowning. He firmly moved her face back to its original position.When he saw the look of resistance in Nikita's eyes, he was slightly stunned. She had never been like that

Nikita's eyelashes fluttered slightly. She suppressed the fear she felt and raised her head to look right into his eyes. The expression on her face was obstinate and defiant. "I don't want anything, Nathaniel! Get up! You and I are over!'She could not compromise. Once she did so, he would be sure to become even more unreasonable.Nathaniel had lost his patience. There was an icy flash in his eyes, and he pinched Nikita's chin and kissed her.There was a sudden knock on the door, and Regina's voice rang out. "Nathaniel, I bought you coffee. Open the door to get it."When Nikita heard Regina's voice, she felt as if her savior had come. She struggled to get up and turned her head. Now that she could finally breathe, she said quickly, "Nathaniel, aren't you afraid that Regina will misunderstand if you do this?"Nathaniel's jaw dropped slightly, and his heart felt hollow. He twisted Nikita's face toward him and laughed coldly. "There's nothing going on between me and her. What can she

"What are you doing?" Nikita suddenly spoke up, making Jessica jump in fright. Her knees buckled, and she almost fell.She turned abruptly, and there was a flash of panic and fear on her face when she saw Nikita. "D-didn't you get off work?"Nikita waved the keys in her hand. "I did get off work. If I hadn't left my keys in the office, I wouldn't have caught you deleting my design draft."She put her phone away.Jessica finally realized that Nikita had been recording. She broke into a cold sweat and reached out to grab her phone.Nikita took two steps back to avoid her and said very coldly, "I'm going to give this video to Mr. Gray tomorrow. Tonight, you'd better think about how you're going to explain it."Nikita pushed Jessica away, turned off her computer, and left.She already had backups of that design draft in her online drive, and she was not worried about Jessica deleting it at all.

At that moment, Harvey ran over and subdued Jessica easily.He took the phone from Jessica and handed it to Nikita. "Here's your phone, Ms. Shea."Nikita took it in a daze. She saw out of the corner of her eye that Nathaniel's arm was still bleeding. There was a very deep cut on his forearm, and it looked frightening.Nikita recovered from her shock and looked up at Nathaniel. The first thing she said was, "Why are you still here?"Nathaniel suppressed the impulse to open up Nikita's skull and look at her brain. He said exasperatedly, "Is this any time to ask about that? Send me to the hospital, you silly thing!"If he hadn't appeared in time, Nikita would have been disfi
